Elna eXperience 520 Overview

It is an computerised sewing machine that can handle any type of fabric. Weather your quilting with cotton or creating a silk prom dress the 520EX will sew every seam with precision. Choose from 30 stitches.

It is not cluttered with lots buttons and dials to turn. A simple touch on the soft button is all that is required to set reverse lockstitch. Also to adjust width and length again is very simply done with a touch on the soft button. The LCD display window makes it easy to see which stitch you've chosen as well as width and length settings. A jam-proof top-loading bobbin system with full rotary hook eliminates the need for a removable bobbin case.

The extra needle penetration power of the Elna eXperience 520 lets you stitch across heavier fabrics and multiple layers. An adjustable extra-high presser foot lifter allows you a full height of 12 mm for multiple layers. It's foot pressure is also adjustable to fine tune the feeding to suit your fabric. The extension table also detaches for free-arm sewing.

I find this sewing machine has a good range of stitches. Quick to go from one stitch to another. Its smooth starting to sew from material edge, meaning its controllable while stitching. (Posted on May 23, 2009)
